Paper Hearts & Iron Thorns

the dust-choked silence of Edinburgh's oldest archives, twenty-one-year-old Lydia Hydson finds peace. Surrounded by crumbling parchment and the scent of old ink, she's a ghost in her own life-until she becomes the fixation of a living nightmare.
Ilia Petrov is a man of cold steel and jagged edges. At twenty-seven, he has seen enough blood to stain his soul forever, but nothing has ever captivated him like the petite archivist with the midnight hair. He doesn't want to date her. He wants to own her. He wants to be the air she breathes and the shadow that follows her home through the misty Scottish streets.
Lydia is used to uncovering secrets, but she isn't prepared for Ilia. She isn't prepared for the way his steeled-green eyes track her every move, or the way the black rose tattooed on his hand feels against her skin. Hes the dark and she's the light.
